I know a lot of the people over at the dundjinni forums use real-draw http://www.mediachance.com/realdraw/

I played with the demo and it is quite cool. It is a 2D vector drawing app that supports full non-destructive lighting and texturing effects.

Flip around the samples on the web site. If someone here uses it, please comment, cause for $55 it seems to have a lot of nifty features.
